Harvey Elliott 'makes Liverpool demand' as Arne Slot star changes tune on transfer

Harvey Elliott has been linked with a potential summer move away from Anfield

Now, it seems the England youth international may have changed his tune. He has informed Liverpool that he wants to play regularly next season after seeing his role diminish under Arne Slot, according to TBR Football. Towards the end of last season, Elliott hinted that he wanted to stay at Anfield and fight for his place rather than give up and join a lesser club. He even said that he would be willing to remain a Liverpool player for the duration of his career. "Hopefully I am still here, to be honest," he told the Liverpool Echo when quizzed on his future. "It is the best place to be, the best club to be at and especially having the fans around us at the moment, I don't think there is a better place to be playing.

"Players go through ups and downs but at the end of the day you have to come out fighting and I think it is within myself to make it happen, so hopefully I can stay here for the rest of my career." It remains to be seen what will happen if the Reds fail to assure Elliott that his demands will be met. He is certainly not short of options, though any move will hinge on whether an interested club is willing to match Liverpool's asking price. Jermain Defoe, the former England striker, recently urged Elliott to join a club where he can be the main man rather than continuing as a bit-part player at Liverpool.

"There’ll be a lot of clubs watching this tournament," said Defoe on Channel 4 after Elliott scored a brace for the Young Lions against the Netherlands. "We said it before, he’s too good to not be playing, when you’re producing in big tournaments like this against the best players. The two goals that we saw this evening, he’s a top, top player. "For him, he just needs to go out and play, get himself in a team where he’s one of the main players, and just go out and express yourself and show how good you are."
